Model No. 3 Desk Chair by Gebrüder Thonet for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna Gmbh, 1920s

This office/dinning chair was originally designed at the second half of the 19th century, and can be found in the Thonet sales catalogues as model number 3. This particular piece is believed to be produced by the Thonet company in the 1920’s.

The design of this chair is similar to model No. 13 and No. 23, but this one was designed without any additional supports between the seat and the backrest. The round seat with the slender circular support and the gentle arc of the legs and armrests are both a trademark of Thonet’s design in the end of 19th and early 20th century. The subtle decoration in shape of a star in the seat is the main decor and gives this model that bit of an extra quality. Thonet offered quite a scale of different decorations for the seats or backrests where possible.

These type of chairs were very popular not only for their comfort, but they were also often used by architects in offices or restaurants all around the world. We believe this is due to the essence of their design fitting perfectly into any interior – whether modern or traditional.

This chair is in great vintage condition, with some minimal wear and patina on the surface gained from its use over the years. The piece is structurally fine without any damage to the construction. This piece has an attribution mark,
